  1. I am pretty sure that the Owners will sit on and hold back the top units. Any deals will be like you described and probably poor quality or attributes.
  2. It does come across as a bit morbid, but isn't it better than just euthanizing thousands of unwanted small animals every year and burying or cremating them? I don't want the animals to feel the terror and sense the pain of being killed or stalked or torn apart. Maybe dope them up in some way before? Maybe Pre kill them quickly before feeding them? How about not putting big lions and tigers and bears and other animals in the zoos in the first place? I hate to see them caged up in small areas. They evolved to roam for miles and miles
  3. Yeah. The efficacy is highly debatable. It has promise and works to some extent and is greatly cheaper and quicker to manufacture than any current methods, but it is an incomplete stimulus of the human immune system.
  4. yes all the regular hotels in Pattaya used to do that years ago, flipper house, flipper lodge, eastiny place (now closed). But there are so many guest houses that have their own entrance and there is no ID check or such staff at all hours
  5. If his insurer or employer or company has the proper liability insurance.
  6. yes. Many people are not aware of the fine print in the policies which often say one must have a valid motorcyle license in their home country. Many just rent a bike, and think things will be fine. And some policies classify motorbikes as dangerous or are excluded, etc.
  7. well some banks are concerned about the nature of funds coming and going into their accounts.
  8. The cryptic message that was displayed suggested to use a VPN. why, no idea. So I bought NORDVPN. I do not connect it but that immediately got me into my hotmail account on my PC. On My smart phone I have not had any trouble accessing hotmail although sometimes it is tricky to get to the correct hotmail log in versus the now almost default microsoft log in site which would not get me to my hotmail
  9. On my very first trip to Thailand and Pattaya back in September 2004, I brought in my carry on: Big plastic jar of Heinz Catsup, a big glass jar of Pickled eggs, a jar of Pickled carrots, all for a bar owner there. Can't even imagine that many liquids as I go through the TSA line today. never mind the mess if one of those jars broke on the planes from LAX To BKK. Correction, I actually flew into Don Muang at the time. I miss that airport
  10. As far as games of skill go, I assure you the bar girls usually beat me at connect 4 .
  11. well the good players do consistently beat the bad players in the long run. There is a lot of variance in the game though. Even starting a hand with a higher pair than the other player, he is still only a 4 to 1 favorite. Bad beats do happen often. I think the definition of gambling includes money involved, although some think it only means one is trying to beat the odds.
  12. yeah. We play many card games without money, just fun. Cribbage, rummy, etc. Even pai gow poker where one of us alternates as having the dealer hand. How about those people that play bridge communally and for fun? How about chess for that matter or checkers? Now generalize to any board game. Can we play Monopoly for fun even though it uses dice? Chutes and ladders for kids? Are board games available and used by kids in Thailand?
  13. I have used free AVIRA for almost two decades now. My friend originally told me it was the free standard in Germany and much of Europe. That I can not verify but I have had zero issues on my two computers, an old Toshiba satellite I bought in 2005 which finally gave out and would not support one of the Windows upgrades, my second computer I already forgot what it was, and my current HP Laptop I bought in 2022
  14. so he could not produce a passport on hand. Not unusual. Did he take the police back to his hotel and then produce his passport along with the proper at least non expired entry visa stamp?
  15. I was looking at various ways to get and keep a valid real street address if living overseas. I came across USA2ME. Seems legitimate and useful. I am not sure how acceptable it may be for various foreign official agencies but it seems reasonable and says it will work for all carriers so one can get mail there and they will forward it to wherever you want, even overseas. Does anybody have any experience with this company or others? Thanks
